I can certainly help you - I have been doing this for many years, and have excellent references.


I charge ?30/hour if you are local, but the first 20 minutes are free in order for you to decide if I know what I am talking about - and can also help you to understand (so that you will not need me the next time!).


If you prefer, call me on 07973 269654 to discuss (for example, if you need to get files from a PC or another Mac onto your new machine)


Regards

Francis

I would personally question an engineer whom advises other forumites that it's OK to use illegal file sharing sites on a computer that is just as vulnerable to attack as a PC.

Hackers, Virus, Trojans, malware, keyloggers etc play a numbers game. Window users make up the vast majority of computer users, and so are the main focus for attack.

Two answers to 'safe'.

1) If you have an Apple computer, it cannot be damaged by downloading a rogue file. Windows is much more vulnerable.

2) There is a very remote possibility that if you did this a lot, you might receive a warning from your Internet Service Provider.


Note: many ISPs block the main Pirate Bay site (but there are ways around this).


Hope this helps.

      Dulwich Leisure Centre, seriously - how do you book a swim?!

      By missyelliott · Posted

      There is now two threads on this. I am really struggling to understand why people have such issues with booking their swim.  Most things in life now require prebooking whether for leisure or not.  Do the same people find booking a table at a resturant or a seat at the cinema just as annoying?  We are very lucky to have 3 local swimming pools.  Since the booking system was introduced I personally find the expeience so much better. If you book you are guaranteed a swim at the time you want in the length you want.  Yes you have to be organised for Dulwich but some of the other pools are never full.

      "Only those obsessed with the idea of efficiency (at the expense of humanity) can applaud a 100% bookable system. It stinks of top-down bureaucracy and goes against how most people want to live their lives. (Specific needs (preferences, really) can still be accommodated with a booking/set aside system but a totalitarian approach just isn’t realistic or human)" WOW - this seems a bit extreme.  Most things in life you need to book. Yes it can be a bit of a pain but thats the way it is.  You could try the other pools in the area- we are very lucky to have 3 + pools in our area

      Good morning!!!

      Good morning all. I’ve just opened the app and seen a lot of people posting about needing a kitchen renovation, home extension, or loft conversion. Before everyone gets fully booked, I highly recommend Nick and his team. Nick and his team provide a great service and are one of the very few building companies who truly understand your vision and work closely with you to make sure you are fully satisfied with the final result.

      Exactly this - and at least 10% of those don’t turn up and don’t get fined? Only those obsessed with the idea of efficiency (at the expense of humanity) can applaud a 100% bookable system. It stinks of top-down bureaucracy and goes against how most people want to live their lives. (Specific needs (preferences, really) can still be accommodated with a booking/set aside system but a totalitarian approach just isn’t realistic or human).
